Design prototypes on display included everything
from a water purification system to a heated ice cream scooper.
ES050 is a mandatory course for all first-year
engineering students. It is designed to emphasize creativity
and hands-on learning.
"ES 050 is different from other courses in that students deal with
open-ended design problems, which they help to define themselves,"
says Ralph Buchal, coordinator of the course and professor of
mechanical and materials engineering. "These problems have many
possible solutions, and no single right answer."
